Kenny,

I've been listening to pop music lately (eg: Britney Spears Circus album - Not sure who did it, but hats off to whomever.), and would love to learn that song broken down via a series of videos. I'd pay for it and/or purchase the needed plugins. Shoot me an email at brenthathawaymusic@gmail.com as I don't get on the boards much lately. Too busy with music!

Thanks Kenny and whomever!

Kenny, just discovered your trove of training vids, led there by folks on this forum. Very interested to watch a lot of these. First watched "How To Watch ...", second watched the Intro vid under First MIDI Song.
Already I find myself in a pickle. Where Reaper appears to give you a fresh project to work with, and I want to follow your moves with my own fresh project, Reaper seems to give me a new project laden with setup choices I made a few minutes ago, when I didn't know what I was doing. For example, you docked your mixer and it looked good there on the left Mine's got empty shelves above it, into the tracks area. Doesn't look good. How can I start fresh? Get Reaper to give me a new project, as if I'd never been there before? Also, I love that you've got a virtual MIDI keyboard that looks like a piano with ivories. Reaper's giving me a more generic key-look.
many thanks,
cheers

Totally agree. I just learned how to midi control a 6 tap ReaDelay with separate midi channel controlling each tap. Couldn't have figured it out without the light bulb moments I got from watching your video clip. Your clips are very well made, and you have a real knack for explaining things in concise layman's terms.

Bookmarked and I'm a fan! THANK YOU Kenny Gioia!

Default Video “How to” using inserted new midi note names in Reaper

Kenny, Love your intuitive videos.
Is there a video as stated in my title using midi note maps from Reaper stash.
I am pretty new at this midi stuff
Thanks again Kenny

These videos are A++. �� ��

Typically I listen to these at 1.5x or 2x playback speed on youtube. For musical parts I switch back to 1.0x. Using faster watching speeds really makes absorbing the howto's really quick.

Hey Kenny,

Over the past few years, we have seen what a great contribution you have made to the Reaper community with your terrific tutorials.

You have a wonderful way of putting over the subject at hand in a clear and succinct
manner. Your delivery is warm and enthusiastic and many of us haven't thanked you enough.

So --- a big thank you Kenny. Speaking for myself I learned a lot from your videos
and always found now matter how complex the topic --- you always made it seem totally understandable.

All the best mate --- keep up the great work.

Regards,

SR

Totally resonate, I had used Cakewalk software since the MIDI-only days (with my venerable and still relevant Roland SC-55). When they started 'losing it' around SONAR with ever-increasing costs and less support from the 'bakers' as we called them, I had huge intrepidation as I contemplated my options. I had always thought of Reaper as hobbyist software, until I discovered Kenny's videos and spent several marathon sessions absorbing the capabilities. I still have SONAR PRO loaded but haven't used it in 2019 (moved some of the final projects over 2018 holiday season).

THANX...I might not have gotten here without the videos!

Excellent stuff Kenny, and long may it continue

I started to watch the new Reaper 6 series of tutorial videos.

Awesome ! I feel the quality and didactic approach is even better than before.


I just found a glitch in Video 5 on Midi.

Here you say: "To use Continuous Controllers you need to activate enable input for control messages with the Midi device".

Unfortunately this is wrong and reflects a very common misconception about Midi handling in Reaper. In fact this setting activates creating Reaper Control Path messages from Midi CCs. These Control Path messages in turn can be used to perform actions on Reaper itself. But independent of that setting, CC messages from a Midi device are just normally routed to tracks and can be used to control Midi aware plugins.

Default Auto-Stretch Timebase

The tutorials are just wonderful Kenny. Thank you for putting so much time and effort together to educate us (me).

Just one question to version 6. Is there a video for Auto-Stretch Timebase?

Hi Kenny, I've just watched you newest video on stretch markers, and am curious to know what settings you use for pitch shift/time stretch mode? Do you ever encounter glitches?

I have stopped using REAPER's SMs altogether, since I haven't been able to find any reliable settings, whether for separate notes with distinct transients (as in your video), or for legato notes.

I'm interested in stretch markers, too. I found 3 such videos. Which is the one that caught your fancy?

Drum Editing - Stretch Markers https://www.reaper.fm/videos.php#6j_6dfWSLKI


Stretch Marker - Transient Guides https://www.reaper.fm/videos.php#GRO-ecLZqmw


(Reaper 5 Explained) 20. Stretch Markers https://www.reaper.fm/videos.php#AqsIBFjcM_4

(I personally like the one that includes transient guides as it's 2-in-1)

Default custom command to control plugin

Hi Kenny,

I just watched your video on FX Monitoring. I installed Blue Cat's Gain 3. My lynx has a USB interface and the software for controlling the volume is quite lacking.

I do not keep a controller handy and the one I have takes a lot of desk real estate.

Is there a way to create a custom action so that I can adjust the volume with my keyboard?

Thanks
Brian

I don't think so. I would recommend getting some type of passive volume control box so you don't need to do it in the software.

I use this little guy with my Metric Halo interface - it is fantastic and so very small. Just bigger than a deck of cards. Highly recommended.

Re-post this in the general forum or the newbie forum as a new thread. Kenny is a cool, helpful guy, but thus thread is solely to discuss his videos.
Re your focusrite, what happens if you uninstall the new driver you downloaded and go back to the earlier one? Also, WHICH focusrite device are you using?

But please answer this in the right forum area. Thanks!

Default Checking for True Stereo Tracks video

Hi, another member of the Ken Enjoyer Fan Club here. Does anyone else find themselves doing a mental commentary when they're mixing? "And I'll split the item - hit S ..." Or is it just me?

Anyway, a question/suggestion for Kenny about the Checking for True Stereo Tracks video: Instead of messing around with polarity settings and pin connectors, wouldn't it be easier just to use Voxengo SPAN with the Mid-Side Stereo preset? If the side-channel meter shows any level then it's a stereo track, if not then it's mono.

You could have SPAN in the monitoring FX, which lots of people might have anyway, and it would also save the time moving FX from one track to another. Just solo each track in turn. Another option would be to use Voxengo MSED in Inline mode, and use the Mid Mute button. If there's any sound then it's a stereo track, if not then it's mono.

Just a thought, and keep up the good work.

Default Kenny, you're awesome

Thanks so much for your continued efforts Kenny. I'm quite new to music production, but I'm becoming a fan!

I was wondering whether you had any advice on finding empty keyboard shortcuts for the action list. It's just a small thing, but it'd be nice to know which shortcuts are available to use for new actions without going through all my options..

Keep being awesome!

You can sort the Actions List by keyboard shortcut order. This can help find the “shift”, “ctrl”, “alt” and “win” combination modifier options that you haven’t used.

Or look at Edgemeal’s post on this thread: https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=251105]

Default Web Control Function stopped working.

Up until recently, I was able to successfully use the OSC function for my phone when I'm tracking myself in the main live room. A couple of months ago, I started getting error messages and lost that ability.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the OSC commands in the preferences menu, following Kenny's tutorial as I did the first time I did it (and was successful). Now I keep receiving the following error message, regardless of how I attempt this action:

Error: The ID 'reaper.fm' was not found for your network. Either the ID is incorrect, or this device is not connected to the same local network as the computer running Reaper.

I can tell you that the network is the same, and everything is on the same network in my studio. So is there a workaround for an error like this? Thank you in advance for any guidance you might offer.

As my first post here I'd like to show my appreciation for your video tutorials. They are very well done, easy to understand and not a small factor when choosing Reaper instead of my previous DAW of choice since 20 years!

So thank you!

Kenny's videos are gold. I try to remember to look there first when I can't figure out how to do something in reaper - because in the past I often ended up there, only after a lot of time and searching and not making headway.

Even if Kenny's videos seem to be about something I know already, like his latest ones about why and how to use reverb, eq and compression etc I still watch them because there is always something new to learn or a different perspective on basic things. I even watch them when they are about subjects I may not have too much of an interest in like making hip-hop beats for example, just to learn something new

I deleted YouTube yesterday due to the fact I had to re-word a fairly innocuous (and certainly nothing inflammatory) post 6 times before the algorithms didn't delete it - it had started happening more and more the last several months, but it got extreme yesterday - but thanks to the link at the main site now I can keep up with new content from Kenny! Thanks for all you do bro!

Kenny, You are the man when it comes to tutorial for Reaper!
Have you ever thought about starting a Video request list for Reaper?
In case someone out there wanted to learn something in Reaper, but there hasn't been a tutorial for it?

thanx again for all you do!
See you on Youtube...

Massive thanks to Kenny.

Without your videos I'd still a total gibbering wreck, just randomly stabbing a finger at buttons and praying for something positive to happen.

At the start of the year I knew nothing about DAWs or Reaper. Now I know SOMETHING. Your tuition is clear, concise and lots of fun and has enabled me to produce a podcast that sounds almost listenable. :-)

It's my ambition to one day use every function, every plugin and shortcut, but I have a feeling that's maybe gonna take some time.

Brilliant work Mr. G!
